HOME TO A FAMILY OF CHARACTERFUL ANIMALS INCLUDING UNREHOMABLE DOGS WITH SERIOUS BEHAVIOURAL ISSUES, A MUTE SHEEP AND HER FLOCK, CATS ON THEIR 10TH LIFE, A COUPLE HORSES AND MOST FAMOUSLY THE #53PIGS.

We were introduced to the sanctuary by our dear friend and vegan activist John Awen who told us of the chilling story of the Pembrokeshire 53, who after being saved from horrific living conditions of Bramble Hall Farm which was operating an illegal slaughterhouse, had a destruction order placed on their heads as the conditions and care were so poor that they survived by eating the carcasses of other dead animals and as such where at risk of carrying diseases such as Mad Cows disease.

Although at the time not public knowledge, through conversations with  Sasha of Beneath The Wood Sanctuary we followed the story closely. It was a truly drawn out process and ironically although they were saved they lived in isolation for 9 months with a “death sentence” meaning they could be destroyed at any moment. Eventually, saved the uncertainty of the whole event meant that when given the green light it was a mad rush to get everything in place for their arrival.
